When Crispin, Lord Cavratt, thoroughly and scandalously kisses a serving woman in the garden of a country inn, he assumes the encounter will be of no consequence.

The dismayed young lord has no choice but to marry Miss Catherine Thorndale, who lacks both money and refinement and assumes all men are as vicious as her guardian uncle. Trapped between an unwanted marriage and a hasty annulment, which would leave his reputation tainted and Catherine's utterly ruined, Crispin begins guiding his wife's transformation from a socially petrified country girl to a lady of society. Their unfolding relationship reveals encouraging surprises for both of them, and privately, each of them wonders if theirs may become a true marriage of the heart. But their hopes are dashed when forces conspire to split asunder what fate has granted, and as a battle of wits escalates into a life-threatening confrontation, will it be possible for Crispin and Catherine to live happily ever after?

Empty Envelope: Family Secrets and a Grandfather's Legacy
In the glittering yet volatile world of 1921 Vienna, a life of brilliance and turmoil ends, and a family erases his memory.
Eisig Lubetzky-a child prodigy and prominent Jewish writer-dies by suicide, leaving behind a wife, three children, and a legacy that almost vanishes overnight. His name fades. His story is buried. And in the family, the silence surrounding his life shapes generations to come.
Many decades later, his psychologist granddaughter and her psychiatrist husband set out to uncover the truth. Following a trail of letters, articles, forgotten manuscripts, and hidden family secrets, they embark on a thirty-year journey across continents, languages, and history itself. From the forgotten shtetls of Belarus to fin-de-siècle Vienna and new lives in Montreal, this is a powerful reckoning with the past-a story of suppressed memories, inherited wounds, and the extraordinary resilience it takes to break the chain.
Their search leads them deep into:
- the intellectual and cultural ferment of fin-de-siècle Vienna
- the literary legacy of a provocative writer
- the collapsing world of Austro-Hungarian Jewry
- the power of stigma in the face of mental illness
- the enduring psychological aftermath of war, exile, and silence
What emerges is more than the portrait of a gifted but troubled man whose early promise was undone by hardship, prejudice, and mental illness. It is also a powerful story of how one life-and one hidden truth-can reverberate across generations, shaping identities, relationships, and emotional lives in ways both visible and unseen.
As the authors reconstruct Eisig's life from fragments scattered across time and place, they must confront their own inheritance-the weight of family secrets, the legacy of loss, and the possibility of understanding.
A compelling blend of historical mystery, biography, and memoir, this haunting narrative explores intergenerational trauma, buried truths, and the redemptive power of storytelling to heal what silence could not.
For readers of family memoirs, Jewish history, and psychologically rich narrative nonfiction, The Empty Envelope reveals how reckoning with the past can transform the present-and open the door to reconciliation. Immensely readable and profoundly human, The Empty Envelope speaks to anyone who has inherited unanswered questions and dared to "fill in the gaps."

General's Spy: A Revolutionary Adventure in Leadership
A deep look into the behaviors and habits of a formidable, dynamic leader, The General's Spy transports readers to the birth of the United States of America. Joining Samuel on his journey - both physical and psychological - as he evolves from a humble family man to a widely respected patriot and ultimately entrepreneur, it becomes clear that true leaders possess and demonstrate certain behaviors. From our nation's days as individual colonies to today's national and even international community, history has seen the rise, as well as the fall, of many leaders and so-called leaders. What we take from The General's Spy is a meaningful lesson in leadership - what it takes to lead people and entire organizations, and perhaps more importantly, to inspire ordinary individuals to achieve greatness. The protagonist faces what many of us would view as devastating obstacles; however, these roadblocks do not deter him, but rather drive him forward. It's as if the more complex the situation becomes, the more Samuel digs in his heels. His vision and sense of purpose is unparalleled. He inspires readers with his loyalty, his humility, his grit, and his devotion to the fight - a fight for independence. Interacting with a number of respected leaders - those in the military and in business - Samuel discovers his own propensity to lead. It is during his stages of self-discovery that we, as an audience, are roused and feel the impact of the guidance he receives. Turning the pages, we learn of Samuel's knack for tracking and scouting, as well as his great respect for Mother Nature, that he's learned from Native American friends. We are moved by Samuel's call to duty, as appalling incidents strike his family and neighbors. We are drawn to Colonel Stark, as he brings out in Samuel a new sense of self-awareness - a spark of guidance. Better yet, we take from The General's Spy lessons that resonate with our own lives today - lessons grounded in empathy and authenticity. Samuel's journey serves as an invaluable reminder that being a leader requires certain qualities, and for any person, group, business, or government to not only survive but to thrive, leaders must exist. They must exist, and they must step up to the plate. Finally, they must choose to lead from the front.
